Can you tell me why, again, it’s okay to paint “white people” with a wide brush? I doubt you have such a clever explanation for that one.

I mean, I get that you’re angry about a variety of social ills — which, despite what you may think, many of “us” find just as unfair as you do — but how does that give you the right to lambaste someone for the color of their skin?

YOU have the right to lambaste someone for the color of their skin but no one else does, is that right? And you’re of the “I’m not a party to racism” camp, right? You’re not perpetuating it, right?

Horseshit, bro. Horseshit.

“ It’s a complete and utter waste of time of my time and energy. And I shall not indulge these sadists for another second.”

Seems like you imagine you’ve ‘dropped the mic’ on those 300 million white sadists — whoa, you did use that word, right? — meanwhile specifically identifying them only by the fact that they [are] white. I wonder if you even realize that legally speaking, anyone who has any amount of ‘black’ genes can claim themselves an African-American, black, person of color, whichever your preference is — and that you wouldn’t (not with your pitiful myopia) be able to identify ‘them’ as genuinely being ‘them.’ That means you’re essentially lecturing yourself with your hate speech here. Which is what it is, hate speech.

You offer hate and you don’t offer solutions. Neither you nor your parrot Alona Williams offers anything in the way of solutions, all you do is claim moral high ground that you don’t even possess. You sit there on your high horses, claim you know so much about history and “the black community” and you actually want people to believe that opportunity cost doesn’t apply to you — i.e. that preferentially studying more of this doesn’t, by definition, mean preferentially studying less of that.

It’s hate, hate, hate. Like you’re going to win a war of fire by throwing some more gasoline on.

No. That’s. Dumb. Alona.

Claim intellectual superiority all you like. Walk home from a party with your sanctimonious panties wedged straight up your ass after putting off yet another person who just might have been interested in hearing your perspective. You shut down the conversation, and for that you can go f&4# yourself and the privilege train you rode in on.

You knew nothing about the ‘young white man’ and you know virtually nothing about what ‘only white society’ can do.

The funniest part is that both of you think you can pitch rocks from your position of high moral privilege and that there’s no one “who isn’t a racist” who will pitch one back.

Guess what? I don’t give a flying fuck what you think because the both of you confirmed you have nothing but hateful words to spew in the general direction of ‘whitey’ and even though you will no doubt believe I’m yet another racist I’ll laugh it right off as a sure sign of the confirmation bias present most particularly in people with their heads shoved so far up their asses they can’t even see straight.

Note: I’m not denying racism exists — not by any stretch. But your use of the term as a one size fits all explanation of every ill that you face in a society filled with white privilege is a bunch of crap. It will continue to be a hunk of crap indefinitely. There will never never never be a time when you concede the race struggle is over, and so even though there are plenty of other things — like global warming, for example — that we do need to be spending some of our energies on, you’ll keep on punching the tried-and-true bag which garners you one of three things:

  1. delicious feelings of self-righteousness and hatred for whites
  2. attention and cheers from people who identify with your minority group
  3. a battle victory in a war which will never end for you

Peace out. Which of course you won’t believe.
